Our Big Frog, James Crofutt, after having worked for the larger electrical companies, decided the industry needed a change so, Big Frog Electric jumped in with a splash in 2011. His 21 years of experience in the field backed with numerous certifications and licenses makes our know-how hard to beat. Having spent these years directly interfacing with customers, James understands that customers priorities include personable service, fast response times, the ability to trust that the job is being done right, and professionalism. At Big Frog Electric we do not have commissioned salesman, just electricians that have your safety as their #1 priority and not their pockets! We fill a void in the disappearing art of craftsmanship, integrity and character in the electrical contracting business. Our Frogs are fully dedicated to the electrical trade, its research, industry knowledge and are actively on the edge of new technologies. Each Tadpole (new hires) we recruit displays optimal craftsmanship, knowledge, courtesy and professionalism with each project - from inspection to conception to completion. You can have peace of mind with Big Frog Electric on the job. Big Frog Electric is a family-owned, owner-operated, electrical service company that appreciate the communities we service and gives back where we can. One way that Big Frog Electric gives back is by offering a special discount to all of our public school teachers, veterans, seniors and first responders. Award winning .

"Outstanding service ! I supposedly had a plumber coming and called Frog Electric on short notice to tie in the project and do some other wiring including running unerground service to my camper. The owner ,James ,and his crew Tom and David and later two other employees whose names I did not catch did a great job .Thank you all."

"I recently had an electrical inspection done by TE Certified Electrical, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment the technician arrived, the experience was professional, thorough, and reassuring. They took the time to explain everything they found in a way that was easy to understand, and I felt confident I was in good hands. What stood out most was their attention to detail—they didn’t just check the basics, they inspected the entire system to ensure my home was safe and up to code. No high-pressure sales, just honest advice and helpful recommendations. I’ll absolutely be using TE Certified again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier electrical service."

"This is an American US Citizen company with working American employees. Cole arrived with 18 yrs of electrical experience. WOW he knows his stuff. I had a ancient electrical box with federal breakers which are known to cause fires. Cole said my old box was in bad shape. It was a no brainer to spend the money and upgrade to general electric breakers. I also hired him to hard wire my carbon and smoke detectors. Job #1 took 2 days. The other work will be done in August 2021. For an experience electrician this is your company."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

When choosing the right size generator for your needs, consider a few items to help calculate the wattage you’ll need. Start by determining which household items and appliances you want to power, and then add the wattages together. Check out the wattage of these essential appliances:

  • Refrigerator: 600 watts

  • Large dehumidifier: 700 watts

  • Large window air conditioner: 1,400 watts

  • Water heater: 3,000 watts

Running home appliances like these requires a partial or whole-house generator. A portable generator may be enough to power your home if you only plan to keep a refrigerator and freezer running. 

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.

Whole-house generators need to be installed on level ground several feet away from walls and other objects. Because they tap into the electrical system directly, they usually need to be close to your home electrical panel for a transfer switch installation. It also helps with installation if they are near to a gas line or propane tank installation.

Portable generators provide backup power for essential appliances during outages and are easy to relocate.
